Maybe See the Sun

Another leaf falls off the tree of time
So here I am, wonder why, push or pull, live or die
Better days ahead or head full of sorrow
Seize or slip away, are tomorrows owned or borrowed
Stars are shooting off into a great abyss
Is it because they never felt the rapture of a wish?
Do they crash down to earth on the weight of the world?
Does the world crash down in spite of us all?

Steady gather speed, is the spark all we need?
Do you feed off desire?
Do all experiences inspire?
Is the flame doused... by tears of frustration?
What do you do in a desperate situation?
I can wring my hands and exhale to no avail
No one's here to rescue you, that ship has sailed
No one's gonna come and and pull you out the shell
Lost when my thoughts fell down the ink well

I'll wake up tomorrow but will breath be sweet?
Will I feel fortunate to break this sleep?
Does the rich man count his blessings or his bills?
Does the poor man count his pennies or his ills?
I can count to ten and convince myself again
That maybe it's a funk and hope it's not a trend
I can count to five and smile one more time
Cause despite all the pain I'm priceless and alive
I can count to one and maybe see the sun
Maybe see the sun, maybe then I'll see the sun
